By 'Royal Appointment'


Alive in Blyth
I must apologise about the late posting of our latest blog but I've have been a bit busy as my mum suffered a bad fall while shopping and i have been helping out at home.But I have a few minutes to spare so this will be small but perfectly formed.
We had a great night at the Royal Tavern on Saturday, shame about the cold weather, cos it's hard to smoke ya tab outside in sub-zero conditions.As you can see from the above photo we have been working on a new t-shirt design (cheers Chris)and Kev wanted to see what the design would look like on us !.Well back to the gig after the initial set-up we tried our new first set and it seemed to work ( but we all found it a bit harder than our old first set).But we seemed to settle down alright and stormed through the second set like no-one's business.Kev would like to thank the young drunk bloke that kept him so entertained during 'Saturday's alright for fighting' Kev was watching him trying to pick up his mobile phone off the floor for so long that he did n't realise that we had started into the chorus of the song, but he was fun to watch( He He ) We would like to thank all that came to see us and we hope to be back at the royal tavern sometime next year.

Did you See - um @ Seaham



Waiting for the football to end before we could set up seemed to take ages and put us back a little bit, to get sorted for a 9pm kick off.But in true SPARTAN style we managed it.
Kev decided to go for a 'traditional' set as this was a new venue and it was a good idea put into practice.After our usual 15 minute break we were back on, the place was jumping to the sounds of Led Zepp, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and after a few encores the night had come to an end.

We had a great night @ the Harbour View Hotel and hope to be asked back sometime Next Year....

SPARTAN rock The Ox, Whitley BAY


WHAT A FANTASTIC NIGHT
We cannot stress enough, how much of a night we had on Saturday, but we must thank everyone who came out to see us, and witness our new opening set.We had only tried our new songs a week before and were a bit apprehensive in case they did not work.
Our set started with Wayward Son by Kansas, and it was a great opener, we reinstated some Thin Lizzy back into the set Jaibreak,Still in Love with you and then ended the first set with Learning to Fly by The Foo Fighters.
Gazza( Bass ) A.K.A. ' The Hamster of Doom ' tried a new look for the second set as his trusty cap was replaced by a stetson until the last 2 song then he was spotted in a multi Coloured wig ( cheers Ian C ) just to prove a point, Although we all thought it was a bet that he had lost.
We had a Fantastic night, Great crowd, and the atmosphere was Electric and so intoxicating that we did not want to stop playing, but time wait for no man.W cannot wait to get
